Nigeria Vs Ethiopia Preview
Competition - WC Qualification
Africa
Date -16 November2013
Kick-off-16:00 (4:00pm)
On aggregate - 2-1
Venue - U.J. Esuene
Stadium (Calabar)

Nigeria will be looking to seal their place at next year's World Cup when they entertain Ethiopia on Saturday.

The Africa Cup of Nations holders are
within touching distance of Brazil 2014 after Emmanuel Emenike's double gave them a 2-1 win in the first leg of their play-off tie at the Addis Ababa Stadium on October 13.

Behailu Assefa had given Ethiopia the
lead in that game with his first
international goal, but Fenerbahce
forward Emenike bagged a brace inside the last 25 minutes - including a last-minute penalty - to put Nigeria firmly in control.

However, despite Stephen Keshi's side
being in a commanding position heading into the second leg in Calabar, Emenike is anticipating a difficult match.

"The game in Calabar will be tougher for us than the one in Addis Ababa. We have to be careful and get ready for another big business in Calabar," he told Fifa.com.

"Ethiopia are very good and they will be coming here with more tricks. So, we shouldn't see the first victory as the end of road."

The hosts will be without injured pair
Nosa Igiebor and Uche Nwofor, but
Kenneth Omeruo, Reuben Gabriel and
Bright Dike have all been called up by
Keshi.

Ethiopia, meanwhile, will welcome back star striker Getaneh Kebede, who has scored four goals in qualifying so far.

The 21-year-old missed the first leg due to a knee injury but his return is sure to be welcomed by Ethiopia boss Sewnet Bishaw.

FT Man city 3-1 Everton

Manchester City 3 vs 1 Everton - In
Progress — 80′
75′ - Deulefeu, who has had little impact since coming on, attempts to find a cross Out the imposing figure of Toure stands in the way, deflecting the delivery through to Hart.
74′ - Yellow Card - David Silva (Manchester City)
74′ - Negredo almost manages to capitalise on a lovely Milner through ball,
taking a brilliant first touch before
attempting to check back onto his right foot. Jagielka is there to prevent the Spaniard getting the shot away, however,and the danger is averted.
73′ - Everton will need to step up a gear if they are to have any chance of coming back into this contest; they have been poor in this second half, particularly after their impressive showing in the first.
71′ - Coleman almost manages to redeem himself by setting up a goal but Naismith
gets his shot all wrong! The Welshman did well to get into the area before squaring nicely for his teammate. The Scot didn't get a hold of his strike, however, and it tamely
ran through for Nastasic to clear with ease.
70′ - Incidentally, and just to add insult to injury for the Evertonians, Distin and Howard appeared both to be cautioned in the aftermath of that penalty decision, presumably for dissent. 69′ - Yellow Card - Tim Howard (Everton)
69′ - Yellow Card - Sylvain Distin (Everton)
69′ - Penalty Goal - Sergio Agüero (Manchester City) GOAL! And it's oh so lucky
for Sergio Aguero! He places it in the
bottom right-hand corner and Howard
actually saves it, tipping the ball onto the post. It comes off the woodwork, however,and onto the American goalkeeper's head, rebounding into the goal, much to Howard's
evident dismay. That could go down as an own goal but City won't mind - it's 3-1!
68′ - PENALTY! Zabaleta forages into the Everton half and Coleman gets caught the
wrong side of the right-back and appears
to pull the Argentinian down. It's soft but the Welshman can have few complaints.Aguero steps up to take the penalty...

This half hasn't been quite as frantic as the first (though that would've been
incredibly difficult!), with both sides
looking to tighten up at the back. City have enjoyed the better of the half, perhaps why Martinez is preparing the first of his substitutions.

The referee blows the half time whistle.
Man city 2-1 Everton

44′mins - Goal - Sergio Agüero (Manchester City)
42′mins - The game has definitely slowed down since that frenetic opening; Everton
are now sitting back and inviting City to come onto them. The home side attempt to
capitalise but they can't quite work an
opening as Milner's cross is too strong for Aguero.
41′mins - Aguero attempts to rectify his mistake minutes earlier, this time striking
goalwards from the left side of the area. He
can only find the side-netting, however,and another chance goes begging for the home side.
40′mins - It's Lukaku's turn to go down in the penalty area this time and it's Nastasic
once again. This appeal is a little more
convincing as the Serbian essentially body
checked the Belgian in order to ensure the
ball ran out of play safely - that was a risky
move from the substitute!
39′mins - A huge opportunity for Aguero and the striker spurns it! Negredo does really
well to put the Argentinian through on
goal, only for the forward to, quite
uncharacteristically, miss the ball entirely
as he attempts to cut inside. He'll be
wondering how he quite managed to not get any sort of contact on the ball there -
everyone else certainly is!
38′mins - Barkley dawdles on the ball as Everton attempt to launch an attack,
allowing Milner to dispossess him and set
City away.
37′mins - Barkley attempts to work his way into the City box but he ends up fooling
himself, falling over the ball under duress
from Nastasic. The Serbian manages to win
the ball off the grounded Englishman
before setting the Citizens away on a
counter. 36′mins - Naismith goes down in the area, claiming a foul from Nastasic. Nothing is
given though; it did appear soft, to say the least.

Manchester City 1 vs 1 Everton - In
Progress — 33′
33′mins - A major blow for the Citizens as Kompany does indeed hobble off; Nastasic
replaces him and, capable as the 19-year-
old may be, this could be a vital moment in
today's game.
32′mins - Terrible news for Manchester City as Kompany appears to have picked up a
knock. Nastasic is warming up as their
captain appears resigned to coming off.
31′mins - City fail to do anything with another corner and Everton counter rapidly yet
again, though the attack is put to a halt
after Mirallas is caught offside, for the
second time in about three minutes. 30′mins - Man City, who have put together good moves in fits and starts, form another
nicely-executed move but McCarthy is there
to prevent the advancing Aguero from
taking it any further.
29′mins - Coleman attempts to drive a cross into the City area as Everton's strong spell, continues. Lescott intervenes but the Toffees pick up the ball on the edge of the
area and work another crossing
opportunity, though Mirallas is caught
offside from Barkley's cross.

The game has settled down a little now after that extremely frantic opening.
Everton have possession and are retaining
it well in the City half.
32mins played so far score still 1-1
